Chapter 272: The Target

"Here you go."

Receiving the crossbow back from Sean who has just copied something that looked like ordinary scratches situated at the back side of it, I went back to my seat as I looked back at the bowl of noodles…

Since I was hardly able to try these noodles back in reality due to my condition, so I thought it might be a good idea to give it a try now that I'm just waiting for Sean to do the translation he talked about…

However, before long, I was...

"Slurp… Slurp…"

For some reason, just as I put the noodles in my mouth, I couldn't stop slurping and slurping as I was too entranced by its flavor which was both unique and delicious...

"Ah, Lan… can you eat a bit more calmly…?"

Hearing Sean's awkward remark, I was suddenly brought of the trance as I realized that I went a bit too far as I took out a cloth tissue and wiped my mouth before calmly apologizing 

"Oh… sorry, I think I just got a bit carried away because the noodles were just too good…"

"No worries…" Sean said as he gave a slight smile before he returned to concentrating in his translation work...

"I see you at least have a decent taste, since it's my brother's special noodles, it would obviously be this good, hahaha..."

"Oh, it's senior mountain's brother, I see you both excel in your field of work!"

"Of course!"

Even though I did enjoy several delicacies during the time I had in the system space, the noodles were still able to give me a different taste of their own, which were good enough for me to humor this mountain guy since his brother was its cooker…

'I guess there are other things that can be enjoyed here other than sleep…'

With this in mind, I put on a mental note on my side tasks list to remember trying out special food as a way to take away the tension…

`~~`~~`~~`

It only took Sean about 1 hour to finish what he was doing as we were on horses out of Battle City's gates before long, of course, I had enjoyed another bowl of noodles during that time...

"Is everyone ready?"

"I'm always ready!"

"Yeah…"

"Let's get going then…"

As we replied to Sean who was making sure no one left something important behind as he was already done completing the map somehow, we headed out on our way…

'I wonder where we might be heading…'

Thinking about the fact that two of the top 10 rankers seemed to be quite calm about them going on this mystery quest even though they knew that they would have to be back here in 10 days, it meant that either this was actually something that was worth the risk, or that they were sure they would be back at battle city in time…

Moving closer to Sean who had Clara riding behind him on the same horse, I wondered if I could get some hints before we reached our destination…

"Hey Sean, do you think you can share what we are exactly expecting to find so that I could be more prepared for it…?"

"Oh, Lan, of course, I kind of forgot to mention this to you in detail since we didn't really have much time, just give me a few minutes to organize my thoughts…"

'Not much time, ha?'

From that point alone, it seemed like they weren't really that sure about that time thing, probably going for it even while risking it because of its worth… but then again they could have waited till they got into a sect or something, why would they just suddenly jump at it in this limited time frame…?

'They might be afraid of having no time to go out after being a part of a sect…'

There was also the possibility that they might have to hand it in to the sect they join as a sect operation instead of acting individually, or maybe…

'Maybe it's just really close to Battle City…?'

"Alright Lan, while I can't really explain my information's source, what I do know is that the one who sold the set to the auction house was actually a sect master of a third rate sect who had somehow found this set on a dead body, thinking it was just a precious treasure set that he might sell for money…"

Pausing my inside thinking and listening to the typical scenario that Sean talked about, a few ideas had already formulated in my mind about what this might be...

"However, as I for some reasons had learned a certain ancient language from young, and after buying the body armor part of the set, I noticed the information on it, which was the reason I had my sister buy the auxiliary part of the set and seeked you and senior mountain out…"

'Hmmm… wait, what?'

"Your sister…?"

"Yeah, Clara is my sister… don't tell me you thought we were together like senior…"

"Well, it's just that you don't really look that similar…"

"People tell us that all the time, but it isn't really that hard to differentiate, it's not like we are twins, we don't have to look the same…"

"Hahaha, it seems you must have gone through a lot of misunderstandings to be that concerned about it…"

Originally thinking they were a couple or something of this sort as they were riding the same horse, it was quite hilarious to know about the truth and hear Sean's bitter complaining…

"You don't need to remind me… let's just get back to topic…"

Making sure that Clara who was sleeping behind him wasn't going to fall any time soon, Sean turned back to me as he continued,

"So, according to the info on the whole set so far, it seems like the place we are heading to maybe the ruins of a sect that contains their legacy or something like that… I'm not too sure as I'm not extremely proficient in that ancient language…"

'Wait… could it be…'

The system's timely notification that followed out of the blue gave me a slight foreboding shudder...
